Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hallo Jonathan, Alter is not the one from the church. Here people give the english word 'alter', to the small temples that they build at homes. It can be anything.. a wooden shelf with gods photos or idols, or a pedestal with all those things kept on it. In any way if you find a piece of sandalwood, it has to be rubbed in circular movements with water on a flat and fine textured stone, the paste occurs, and it has to be collected. In this way you get the sandalwood paste which actually is good as it has the energy you applied on it while making it by yourself. Dharmadev Aryaji and Miss Neeta mam, and few gurujis has told.. Yantra is the graphic diagram machine, that is associated with a particular deity so just by looking at the yantra of the particular deity brings blessings and the effect of chanting the deities name thousands of times. So just offer flowers and look at the yantra. The reason for wearing the yantra is that you can be able to see it often. see you. Ketan.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Thank You Ketan, I had decided through some other responses that my intent is as good as the ritual itself. I will do as you suggested. Jonathan , yourstruelyprince <no_reply> wrote: > Hallo Jonathan, > Alter is not the one from the church.
